Meryl Streep’s family sent her to the closet whenever she wanted to rehearse her songs from ‘Mamma Mia!’
The Oscar-winning actress – who has four children with husband Donald J.
Gummer – was banned from practicing some of the classic ABBA hits which
appear in the movie unless she locked herself away in her soundproof
cupboard.
Meryl said: “I think I have sung all of these songs about 70,000
times – starting in my closet, which was the only place my family would
allow me to practise, all the way to Pinewood and Holland Park where we were
living. But I never got sick of singing these songs – you just cannot be
excited when it starts!”
Meryl also revealed she is slightly nervous about her son Henry seeing the
film, because she thinks he will be embarrassed when he sees his mother
singing and dancing on screen.
She added: “My son will be appalled, but I think he will actually like it
because he is a musician and he will get a kick out of it – he will
appreciate the musicality of it.”
